2010 ACADEMY AWARD® NOMINEE FOR BEST DOCUMENTARY,

WHICH WAY HOME, TO BE RELEASED ON DVD, DIGITAL & VOD ON JANUARY 25

“An unflinching look at the world of Central American child migrants.”—

The Wall Street Journal

December 20, 2010 – Traversing more than 1,450 miles upcountry, Mexican freight trains routinely are boarded by migrants hoping to reach the United States. Among the thousands who ride the trains, many are children traveling alone. They come from all over Mexico and Central America, risking everything for the chance of a better life. WHICH WAY HOME, a film by Rebecca Cammisa that follows these children on their journey above freight trains, received rave reviews and numerous awards, including the 2010 Emmy® Award for Outstanding Informational Programming, the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award Grand Prize, and was nominated for a 2010 Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary in addition to three more Emmy® Awards.

These children leave home without saying goodbye to their loved ones or simply leave a written letter stating their purpose of reaching the United States. Kevin, Yurico, Olga, Freddy and others share their ambitions, frustrations disappointments and sorrows as their ride continues over months, sometimes years.

WHICH WAY HOME premiered on HBO in August 2009, and was featured in over 20 film festivals, including the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival and the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival.

In an HBO interview, Ms. Cammisa explains her motivation for creating the film and what she hopes the audience will take away:

“I want this film to be used as a tool for creating immigration reform in the Unites States and Mexico because children are suffering and even dying while migrating north. What side of the immigration debate you’re on doesn’t really matter to me. What matters is that the public-at-large is provided visual documentation that enables them to really see what is going on. Hopefully once people watch this film, they will gain a clearer understanding and compassion for the people who are trying to get here.”

Breathtaking views of Mexico’s luscious scenery serves as a backdrop for the film as some children travel on top of freight trains, moving toward their final destination. Despite their circumstances, these children remain hopeful, vigilant and determined to risk everything for a better life.

The DVD from Docurama Films features two Spanish versions of the film: one subtitled in English, with English title cards, and one non-subtitled, with Spanish title cards. Menus are also in English and Spanish. Bonus features include deleted scenes and additional information on the National Center for Refugee and Immigrant Children.

WHICH WAY HOME is directed and produced by Rebecca Cammisa; edited by Pax Wassermann and Madeleine Gavin. Executive produced by Lianne Halfon, John Malkovich and Russell Smith of Mr. Mudd.
